Itinerary
Pick up at your accommodation in Cape Town and set off on a drive-by city tour to see the historical monuments and buildings in the city centre.
Then we will stop in the Bo-Kaap (Cape Malay Quarter) for a photo opportunity with the colourful houses. Your tour guide will explain the significance of the brightly coloured houses in the Bo-Kaap. Please be sure to remain close to your tour guide at all times and keep your belongings with you.
Explore the top of Table Mountain. Your tour guide driver will escort you to the top of the mountain to give you a guided tour. Please take note that this attraction is weather dependent. Please note that Table Mountain cable car tickets are not included in our tour price. Clients are required to purchase their own Table Mountain tickets to prevent delays at the entrance.
A photo opportunity will be on the program along one of the most scenic drives in the world. We will stop at the viewpoint to take these spectacular photos.
Stop for a viewing of the African penguins. For many of our Guests, Boulders Beach also known as home to African Penguins, is the highlight of this tour. Therefore, we will allow you enough time to discover the main colony.
An optional stop will be on offer at Seaforth Restaurant for lunch with scenic ocean views. However, should you prefer a different restaurant please inform your tour guide in the morning so that he can plan around this. Reservations are recommended for restaurants.
We will drive straight to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, where we will explore the Dias and Vasco Da Gama crosses. Remember to take your iconic photo behind the Cape of Good Hope name board.
From the Cape of Good Hope, we will drive to Cape Point, where we will have the option to either take an easy walk to the Cape Point Lighthouse or take the Flying Dutchman Funicular tram. Cape Point is also known as the meeting place of the Two Ocean Currents: Cold Benguela and the Warm Agulhas currents. Option to take the Funicular to the top of Cape Point lighthouse @R95,00 per person.

Gordon was an amazing and entertaining guide, we had great time! We saw table mountain, boulders beach, cape point and a lot of little stops along the way. Great if you want to see a lot in a day
It was a wonderful trip with many great experiences with a wonderful group and a competent guide, Mena. He told us interesting and funny things about South Africa and Cape Town, and he did not shy away from discussing some sad chapters of the past. The only thing that truly dampened the experience was that we could not visit Table Mountain due to heavy rain in the afternoon. I received the refunded money, hopefully next time!

We had an amazing time with Sedick Peterson as our guide. He spoke 7 languages and was very knowledge about South African history and current affairs. He shared many beautiful experiences and stories of Cape Town and South Africa. We loved the different locations from Table Mountain, Penguins at Simon's town, Cape Point and honorary mentions were Bo kkap, the baboons and ostrichs. The views were beautiful and Sedick made the experience at each location even more memorable. Definitely a day well spent and recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Sedick... you will have an amazing time :)

He talked a lot about the local area and what we were seeing. The penguin experience was overrated because of our past experience but is you only saw penguins at a zoo I’m sure they would have enjoyed the experience.

We are pleased to hear that your guide provided informative commentary throughout the journey and helped share insights about the local area and the places visited along the way. We believe local knowledge and storytelling are an important part of helping guests connect more deeply with the destination. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the penguin experience. We understand that travel experiences can vary greatly depending on previous encounters, and for guests who may have already had close experiences with penguins elsewhere, Boulders Beach may feel different from expectations.

This tour packs a lot in a full day! We started with a ride up the incline to Table Mountain then stopped at Bo-Kaap for pictures and a quick history lesson in the morning. Next stop was a fabulous lunch overlooking the ocean with a great view. In the afternoon we watched the penguins frolicking in the ocean then took pictures at “the sign” at the Cape of Good Hope then climbed up to the lighthouse. We capped off the day with a ride home along the beaches to watch the sun set over the Atlantic. Gift was a fabulous guide and made sure everything went smoothly. He knew all the shortcuts to make sure we saw everything without feeling rushed. What a great day!

Vehicle wasn't comfortable for 4. Seats were very thin padding for a full day your. Would have preferred an upscale van like a Mercedes.

This was a wonderful private tour tailored to our interests. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about South African history in general and Cape Town history in particular. He changed the itinerary as we requested and gave us the extra time we wanted at Cape Point and at Boulders. Although the day started foggy and overcast, he turned it into a five-star experience for us!
